In our homeschool... well, I thought we would add a subject or two for each kid this week, and then hopefully be ready to go full schedule next week. We didn't really add anything, just kind of... stepped up the pace? Something like that. Anyway, Kennady did some work on  Illuminating Literature curriculum from Writing with Sharon Watson and I shared our review on that. (See it here.) She also has been reading a book about C.S.Lewis from YWAM Publishing for an upcoming review. And loving it, I might add. Yesterday we chose a couple of activities from the accompanying Unit Study for her to work on. I have a feeling she avoided math.

I know Landon avoided Math, but that's because he couldn't watch his VideoText videos online this week, so I won't be too hard on him for that. He did work hard at History. And he had his first drive time with a Driving Instructor this week, so he wasn't completely lazy.

This morning I was at the beginning of the year meeting of our homeschool group. So now it really is official - the school year has begun!

In other news... on Sunday afternoon some of the members of the children's choir sang the anthem at the local farm team's baseball game. It was a beautiful sunny day, perfect for baseball, and the hubster and I had great seats!

Landon had Civil Air Patrol on Tuesday, and on Wednesday Kennady and I went to a concert by a boys choir from France. They were very good. While we were doing that Spencer and Landon went to youth group and instead of just hanging out that night, they helped the men start building a shed on the property. On Thursday evening, the hubster went over with them to help get that project finished.

Things that made me smile... the fun we've had in the just the couple of days since these games arrived for us to review!

I recommend... looking back at this month's entries in the Homeschooling High School Blog Hop. We discussed Math, Science (especially Biology!), and History in our posts on Wednesday.

On my blog this week...

A parting shot...
